Qigong can be a major factor in healthy aging. Through the use of gentle, slow movement, relaxed
breathing, intention [focused awareness] and meditation we increase our levels of energy and stamina. We
activate and increase flow in energy throughout the mind, body and spirit. The slow outward movements
have a corresponding relationship to the inner workings of the body. The focus is on balance difficulties
and weakness in the lower body where we build confidence and strength. Qigong helps to relieve emotional
anxiety and depression and is a powerful aid in healing illness and injury. It is a perfect healing companion
to most medical conditions. Qigong is not athletic or aerobic and is highly suitable for all ability levels. It
can be done seated or standing. We do not get on the floor. Wear comfortable shoes and clothing and bring
your water bottle.

from Fordham University. In Connecticut, she maintained a private psychotherapy practice for 30
years. She had the privilege of teaching and helping individuals and groups to further their own healing
through psychotherapy and Qigong, sometimes blending the two disciplines. She has helped many seniors
reach their goal of "simply feeling better".
